An intelligent, well rounded guy. Can be shy at times, but is liked by mostly everyone. He is lay back, but is a natural born determined leader of the masses, if only he can get over his fear of success. He is ambitious, but is also very prone to laziness. A Sharief is often labeled as arrogant, but when you get to really know him, you'll find out he's just timid. A Sharief is the only type of guy you'd want to meet. He may freak out a few times in your relationship, but the way he loves you- you'll never ever let him go. If you let him go; you've made the worst mistake of your life right there. Always stay close with a Sharief because he's the most trust worthy guy in the world and knows his way to a womans heart.
